LIMITED SPACE AVAILABLE. Pre-registration required.
Abstract Artists Laboratory is a space to meet and create together.
Finding the time to paint is always a challenge and if it has been months or years since you have painted there can be a palpable hurtle standing in one's way of getting out those brushes and sitting down in front of a canvas. This space allows you the time and space without creating an at home art studio or needing to immediately go out and buy a plethora of materials.
We will begin each session with a short meditation and then a brief and expressive experimental painting technique which will inspire freedom and movement in your painting. If you have a project that you would like to bring, feel free. Gentle guidance, inspirational ideas, artwork images and materials will be provided.
